RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

I was going to ask if I would toast the board by plugging in the main power to it AND plugging in the micro USB.

It’s weird that this would happen now, but maybe there was some kind of update to the computer that did something? It’s also an old tablet computer that lost its ability to hold a charge, so it has to be plugged into the wall to work. It’s much easier to bring the computer to the tank than the other way around.

Hopefully this works!

Thanks!

Luke you hit the nail on the head, that was it.

Turned on the tank, plugged in the micro usb, was able to connect to the TCB in OPConfig as normal. Not sure why this has happened now since I’ve been connecting to the TCB using the power from the micro usb only for a couple of months now, but maybe there was some kind of update, or more likely, my tablet is old.

"It’s also an old tablet computer that lost its ability to hold a charge, so it has to be plugged into the wall to work. "

There is that crucial bit of information that would have been useful right at the start !.

At least it is now functional and someone else may benefit from this.
Happy tanking.
